System and method for measurement aided prediction of temperature and airflow values in a data center

摘要

A system and method for evaluating cooling performance of equipment in a data center is disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a plurality of measured inlet and exhaust air temperature values for at least one cooling provider and a subset of the plurality of equipment racks, implementing a cooling model. The method also includes adjusting at least one of an ambient air temperature value and each of a plurality of airflow values in the cooling model, and adjusting the cooling model to compensate for the adjusted at least one of the ambient air temperature value and each of the plurality of airflow values in the cooling model, substituting inlet and exhaust air temperature values in the cooling model with measured inlet and exhaust air temperature values, and predicting plurality of inlet and exhaust air temperature values in the cooling model.
